Chapter 9 You'll feed me? You're such a good person!
Wang Dong said, "These two guys live next door to us, do you think we can get a good night's sleep?" Tang Wulin turned around and said, "Huh? Sleep? Don't you meditate at night?" Wang Dong was taken aback, then pretended to be calm and said, "Me? Of course I meditate, but as the boss, I have to take care of my underlings' mental state."
Seeing Wang Dong's confident expression, Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Then, his gaze suddenly changed! Wang Dong felt Tang Wulin's eyes suddenly brighten; the sincere light in them made her want to cover her eyes. Tang Wulin said, "Do you still stand by what you said before?"
Wang Dong was taken aback and asked, "What?" Walking along the path beside the Sea God Lake in the academy, Tang Wulin said excitedly, "Boss! Aren't you supposed to pay for my living expenses? How about this, I won't take advantage of you; you just need to pay for my food, okay?"
Hearing this, Wang Dong felt a great sense of accomplishment and slapped Tang Wulin on the shoulder, laughing, "Of course! Do you think I'm short of money? Don't worry about saving me any money. You can eat whatever you want. Come on, it's dinner time, I'll take you to the cafeteria!"
You'd better eat a huge meal, you're not allowed to leave until you're stuffed! Otherwise, you'll be disgracing me! *Whoosh!* Tang Wulin suddenly turned around, grabbed Wang Dong's hands with both, and said truly, from the bottom of his heart, "Wang Dong! You're such a good person!"
The sudden movement startled Wang Dong, but feeling the touch of the person's hand in front of her, she was overjoyed, as if something deep within her blood had been stirred, making her genuinely happy. A smile crept onto her lips, and she subconsciously patted Tang Wulin's head, saying with a smile, "Okay, let's go!"
Tang Wulin was a little surprised to be touched so suddenly. He had many friends, and this didn't seem like the way brothers usually interacted. However, it was different from Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan's interactions. Wang Dong's action reminded him of how he felt when facing Na'er. But Tang Wulin didn't take it to heart. After all, this person in front of him was a big spender! If the spender was happy, he was happy!
Thus, the two sides reached a tacit understanding and happily headed to the cafeteria together.
As evening fell, the sky was overcast, a sign of impending rain. Shrek Academy's cafeteria was filled with the life-giving energy of tree roots supporting pillars and floral patterns, nourishing the food and the future of the academy. The cafeteria's warm yellow evening light was just right. Above the spiral staircase, on the second floor…
With a clatter, another plate was placed on the table. Looking around, the table leaning against the first-floor railing, and the table next to it, were already piled high with plates.
Woohoo! Tang Wulin swallowed the entire plate of blue-striped sea dragon meat in one bite. The tender texture exploded in his mouth. One bite and it burst with juice, the aroma filling the air. The oily juices flowed down the corners of his mouth. The tender texture stimulated his taste buds and rushed straight to his brain, making Tang Wulin let out a pleasant exclamation.
Excited, he smiled at Wang Dong across from him and said, "What are you standing there for? Let's eat together!" Across from him, Wang Dong rested her chin on her hand, looking at him expressionlessly. From the initial joy, to the confusion in the middle, to the shock that made her mouth wide open, she had transitioned to her current state, experiencing a silent withering.
"I've raised a little dragon?" Wang Dong thought to himself. Looking at the invitation Tang Wulin extended, Wang Dong snatched a fire mud shrimp from Tang Wulin's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
She kept telling herself, "Wang Dong, Wang Dong, you have to calm down. We've already come this far. It's just a little over ten thousand gold soul coins, right? Pay it! I have to establish my boss's dignity in front of this guy!"
For some reason, Wang Dong always felt compelled to do something like this when facing Tang Wulin, and subconsciously, she felt that this was what she should do.
Looking at Tang Wulin in front of him, his mouth bulging with food, and two puffs of steam like dragon's breath billowing from his nostrils from the heat of the food, Wang Dong smiled slightly. "Let him eat. The happier he is, the better!"
Then!!! Tang Wulin screamed, and a stack of plates beside him flipped over and crashed to the ground floor with a loud bang.
Beside him, the waiter who had just brought in new dishes said, "You'll have to pay for these plates." *Bang!* Wang Dong slammed his fist on the table, his furious roar echoing throughout the cafeteria. "Tang Wulin, you bastard!!! I'm going to kill you!!!"
From then on, the reputation of this person as a glutton spread throughout the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy. However, that's another story. Because of this incident, Wang Dong had to pay out a sum of money, and as punishment, the two of them were ordered by an old teacher named Zhou Yi who happened to be passing by to manually clean up the broken plates without using their soul power or soul tools.
After doing all this, it was already dark, and a torrential downpour began. Wang Dong felt that this perfectly reflected her mood.
The two ran towards the dormitory in the pouring rain. On the way, Tang Wulin, who was so wet that he could barely open his eyes, was about to look in his soul tool to see if there was anything to shelter him from the rain.
But the next moment, an elbow pressed against his back. He turned his head and saw that Wang Dong had already lifted his clothes and wrapped them both tightly inside. Before Tang Wulin could speak, Wang Dong shouted:
"What are you looking at! Let's go! That old hag is such a busybody! She doesn't teach us anything! It's just a plate that broke, we've already paid for it, and she's still making a fuss over it, she's just looking for trouble!"
Recalling the shards of glass that kept falling from Zhou Yi's trouser leg when she left, Tang Wulin said somewhat uneasily, "It's alright, after all, they all hit her on the head."
Wang Dong thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. However, thinking about this, Wang Dong glanced at Tang Wulin speechlessly. It seemed that he had been unlucky all day since he met this guy. What was going on?
Feeling the phantom pain in her finger again, Wang Dong gritted her teeth and rubbed the spot where she had bitten it, a wave of helplessness washing over her. Little did she know, this terrible day wasn't over yet…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Desperately pounding on the door, Tang Wulin cried out in distress, "Open the door! We promise to be back in the dorm on time next time! We have a reason! Please forgive us this time! Old man at the door! Did you hear me? Please! Open the door!"
